Hello!

Yesterday I received a call from the local computer gurus at one of my
colleges. He wanted to warn me not to upgrade to Service Pack 4 (NT4). He
said that they had just done it and now all their Mac Volumes had
disappeared and the server dosen't even show in the zone.

I've been testing SP4 on both Intel and Alpha machines since it came out
and seen no inherent problems. He also said that he called Microsoft and
they are aware of the problem but don't have any ideas as to what is
wrong, and that they don't reccomend upgrading to SP4 if you need Mac
Volumes. He also said that they have had six calls about this problem.

I searched TechNet yesterday and then MS's online KB to no avail. Finally
searching the web I found one (just one) report of something similair.

Now I'm not really beating on SP4, I've got 15 clients that download about
150MB's of data when they boot, and they boot once a day. That's more
activity than my production server sees.

Is there anyone who can provide me with confirmation that this is some
sort of problem with SFM in SP4 ? A KB article number wold be great!

Thanks in advance, and I'm not totally convinced he didn't do something
wrong. :-)

Michael
